Disclaimer: I'm not planning on building a metallic rocket any time soon.
Well, it's just an odd question I've kinda had. NAR says no metal is allowed. Tripoli says "minimum amount of metallic parts" and that they have to be deductible metals (Aluminum & Copper alloys). Which is weird IMO cause doesn't aluminum and copper have very low melting points compared to steel or etc. Also, how is fiberglass able to withstand much higher melting points than aluminum or copper?
also part dumb but how were these guys in the vid below allowed to build with metal?
